White Death....Overreacting to Snow in the forecast

It never ceases to amaze me these days when a forecast calls for more than an inch or 2 of snow....people flock to Wal-Mart and the grocery stores like the end of times are here to stay. Get Real!!

The forecast for western Ohio says 1 to 4 inches today, with a total snowfall of 3 to 6 inches...now excuse me folks, this ain't a Blizzard of 78 coming at us....I'm guess they might let schools out early, and it wouldn't surprise me if the area games are cancelled for tonight...I'm scheduled to be at St. Marys for a Girls WBL contest between Lima Bath and the home standing Roughriders...but I'm prepared to see it cancelled.

Yesterday I made another trip to Columbus, picking up Sam at Ohio State, then heading for the Dayton area to purchase his replacement car...a well kept 1999 Toyota Corolla, from the family of a girl that lives in the same complex as he does in C/Bus. We headed home, then Sam decides, after doing a couple of loads of clothes, to head back to Columbus, before the pending "Storm". So he is back at OSU ahead of the "White Death"

Today, not much going on...I'm off to George's to get a haircut..do the Dartball League stats/standing for the beginning of the 2nd half of the season. Then wait out the snow and see if the games are cancelled....

For now I'm debating driving the, not so great in snow, Intrepid, that is warm and cozy, or taking the Jeep, which while cold and drafty, is solid as a rock on snowy roads and highways. Decisions, Decisions....

A Hint(baseball) of Spring___

Although the calender says January 7th, last night's mail gave me a smile, and a hint of the warm weather which will be here in due time. The new rule books and changes in regulations for the coming High School season were in the mail box....The Local and State Rules Meetings begin the middle of next month, and I am only 9 or 10 weeks away from our first scrimmages of the coming season. Even though Basketball is less than half way done, the thought of baseball season gives me hope than winter will be ending, sooner or later.

Frankly, other than listening to the insane things coming out of Obama's mouth and the nutjobs in Washington DC...there isn't a Hell of a lot to jot down today....maybe my brain freeze will thaw out tomorrow, and I'll be back then...or maybe later tonight, a light bulb will go off in the old noggin.

Back Later>>>>

Photos-The Snow is coming down, and looking out our landing window, it appears at this point(11am) we have a good 2 or 3 inches...my have to use the Snow Blower for the first time this season...and the Rules books and material for the coming baseball season arrived in the mail last night. Can spring be far behind? {Yes!}
